Ah yes , the inner child...When I was a child there was nothing that brought me more comfort than a box of crayons and a coloring book . I also remember drawing lots of hands - my hands -tracing them, turning them into turkeys at Thanksgiving, coloring them too with every color imaginable. I still like to color but with sometimes a little more sophisticated tools- hence this digital collage. That inner need to create is still there -I think we all have it- or we wouldn't blog or create every chance we get. The trick is to keep the "child" like attitude about our creativity and not overthink what we make so much- just let it happen! This is my entry for Inspiremethursday's theme Child Art (great idea Sarah)!.

Lori, this is such a gorgeous digital collage! It really does relive a childhood memory.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore the almost psychedelic patterns that decorate the palms of the hands.
The static-y texture in this piece is really cool too, adds a nice effect, as if it truly is a flash back.
Just lovely!

I really like this colorful hand. And in my kitchen --yellowing and dusty is one of the hand turkeys my little girl made sooooo many years ago!
